"Billionz" is a song by British rapper M1llionz. It was released as a single on 9 July 2020 and peaked at number 39 on the UK Singles Chart, spending five weeks in the top 100.[2]

Production[edit]

M1llionz broke through at the end of 2019 with his song "North-West", and he also released the anthem "Y Pree" at the start of 2020, but B1llionz was the first single to make an impact on the UK charts.[3] The lyrics tell the story of how M1llionz's life has changed since his rapid career rise, and the money that has come along with it.[4] The music video was shot by director Teeeezy C, who had also produced videos for Digga D and Nafe Smallz.[5] The song achieved over 890,000 streams on its first week of release.[6]
